RESULTS OF THE LAST BIG STORM

The storm of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning did damage to several sections of the coast but Seaside Heights escaped. Seabright, as during former storms, again suffered and so did Atlantic City, Ocean City, and other shore towns. Seaside Park escaped with little damage. The boardwalk at the lower end was slightly damaged and a house under construction was damaged. The Ocean and Bay waters met in the lower section of the borough but little loss followed.

In the course of the storm and the ice floes brought down the bay by the fierce gale, several bents of the bridge were damaged.However, the damage was not nearly as the first reports stated. A legal question as to who will repair the bridge has been raised.

On Sunday a committee inspected the bridge and said a favorable report has been made to accept the bridge. A meeting of the bridge company was have to been called to act on the committees report to meet in Camden tomorrow (Saturday) Messrs Fay & Son, the contractors, declare the bridge was accepted but the bridge company says not. The Bridge Company also pointed out that when their employees went to the bridge on Monday morning they found barriers erected at the entrances and the bridge thus made impassable. In addition to claiming the bridge was accepted, Fay & son further claim that the bridge was built to specifications of the bridge engineer and that if pilings gave away for want of bracing it was not their fault. Further legal entanglements are surely to follow. Former Judge Berry is council for the bridge company and he claims the contractors should repair the damage.
